Today we planted a few more seeds of ag literacy 🌱📚

The Tuscaloosa County Soil & Water Conservation District visited three more elementary schools- Crestmont Elementary School, Westwood Elementary, and Buhl Elementary School- to donate Ag Learning Stations.

Each school received 24 ag-accurate books, a bookshelf, and a rolling tote bag. These books help students explore where their food and clothes come from while learning about pollination, farming, the water cycle, soil health, and more. 🐝🌾💧🌍

We’re excited that all 18 county elementary schools are receiving an Ag Learning Station this year after launching the project in city schools last year!

Thank you to the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee for making this project possible!

We had a great time touring the TCSS K-12 AG Farm yesterday! Thank you so much for having us and showing us around. It’s exciting to see all the growth happening and the new additions to the farm.

From the goats, sheep, and donkey to the fishing pond, sunflower field, pollinator garden, and all the plants... there was so much to take in!

We can’t wait to see what’s next!
